The next chapter... 01-02-09 10:26pm CST

I have always been a big believer in "Chapters" of our lives. It seems as though, often, our lives (or at least mine) can be easily divided into Chapters. Periods of time that are sometimes short, sometimes long, but almost always have fairly definitive beginnings and endings.

Today marked a new chapter for my family. Today, January 2, 2009 my dear wife hopefully worked her last day outside of the home, for at least some time. Crystal is now, and will be for quite some time a stay at home wife. For us, this marks a very important day in the history of our family.

Since before we were married we have discussed the time when Crystal could finally cease working outside the home. Thankfully that day has come.

And in ~36 days Crystal will no longer be "just" a stay at home wife.

She will be a stay at home mom as well.

:)

Enjoy every moment of this new chapter. I worked a little when the kids were little, but spent most of my time with them. I never regreted the loss of money. The time with them was worth so much more.

 
jabberwock

Congratulations to both of you.

I'm so thankful for you. What a great husband you are to our precious Crystal.

 
chachaboo

I am so excited for yall! I made the decision to be a stay at home mom although it has proven to be difficult financial sometimes. I believe this is the way God has intended the family to be... May God bless yall for a great decision made!

 
blesu

Paid off 12-09-08 10:56am CST

Friday we made the last payment on the Sunfire that Crystal bought 6 months before our wedding.

In the end we paid it off two years early.

Boy does that feel good!

sjean

Good for you! We always pay off early. It really saves on interest, and it is like found money the next month.

 
beka34

way to go!! we just paid off Aaron's truck... now we are going to pay off my vehicle! It really does feel great.

 
sunshinebear

It does feel great when vehicles get paid off...Dave Ramsey would be proud of you! smile

 
wifelet

We paid off my car this summer - it feels SO nice to have 2 paid-for cars! :)

 
adampual

i hope to do that as well. although, my auto loan rate is better than most of my student loan rates, so i'll probably "snowball" them first.

 
blesu

Good for you guys. That has got to feel good.

 
jlmanager

Nice. We're hoping to finish Jen's out next year.

 
s_laughter

It's always nice to have something paid off. :)

 
candesmama

jules

I paid my CRV off early too. It's such a nice thing. :)
